probably right but still looks like a bargain if it doesnt go too much higher
Is there enough room to get FI on one of these - make it silly fast!

Looks like plenty of room for a supercharger.... something I had considered (but only a little bit... honest). There is a chap who makes similar 7 style '5 mx5 conversions and he turbos all of his. Must be knocking on for 500bhp/ton. Mental. Its not so much about the power as the handling/experience for me though. I'm not sure I want to be scared sh*tless every time I go out.

Yes i think about 250bhp/ton is enough in a small, open top, good handling car for most things, i saw first hand last year at Gurston when it goes wrong in one of these lightweight type things (think it was a westfield) scary and not pretty!!
